THE LOCAL PRESS THE BEST MEDIUM.

Says the Oakland Times @The Los
Angeles people have proved the efficacy
of adver rtising, and have found that moth
ing equaled their local papers for calling
attention to the merits of their section.
They send abroad many thousand daily of
their local papers for distribution at
prominent places, and the result has been
truly wonderful" There is no better
method that can be adopted to advertise
this section abroad than, as the Times SAYS,
through the local press. The person at a
distance who takes up the regular issues
of local newspapers containing exposi-
tory articles of the region in which the
Journals are published, reads the articles
with faith in the correctness of the state
ments made For the reader realizes that
the same matters goes to the local client
age of the paper, and is therefore wholly
unlikely to be exaggerated or evasive.
Precisely the effect is produced upon the

TEHAMA.

The REcoRB-UNIoN presents this morn
ing the eleventh of its series of illustrated
articles descriptive of the counties of Cen
raj and Northern California. The present
number is devoted to an exposition of the
capacities Of the soil of Tehama, its eli
mate, its business, its society, its products,
etc. 1t will be found to be a clearly
stated, orderly-arranged and convincing
paper, and makes to-day's RECORD UNION
an admirable number to send abroad TO
educate strangers to the State up to the
truth concerning Northern California. No
county of the section has fairer promise or
is making more rapid progress than Te-
hama. Its claims upon home-seekers are
of the strongest character.

THE RETURN OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY

Those who are attached to the Republi-
can party from sincere belief in its fun
damental principles, have never yielded to
the timid fears of less well-grounded
members that the party has outlived its
time. Governor Foraker, of Ohio, is one
of the old guard that never surrenders
He believes not only in the ability of the
party TO regain power, but that in the
very nature of things that event must
come to pass.
In the Forum for August he has mono
graph upon the subject that is full of
good thought and historical recital. He
docs not care to recite records, not that
they are not valuable aids in estimating
strength, but because of the general dis
position of the public mind that bygones
should be left to rest in peace The party
must come to power again, if at all, not
because of past achievements, but because
of present ability to grapple with and
handle the things of the day The party
having always shown its capacity to be
equal to any emergency when it was un-
divided and not deprived of its natural
rights, il is jiustiiable to assume as much
for its future, which doctrine this journal
has uniformly maintained, and to which
Governor Foraker evidently adheres
though he does not state the proposition.
The party should come to power, he
holds, because on the issues of the day and
great concerns Of liberty it reflects the
largest and best public opinion. Thus
there is a well-defined issue between the
Republican and Democratic parties as TO
impost SRties, as to civil service reform,
and concerning the civil and political
status OF the colored citizens of the nation.
Republicanism declares for free ballot
and fair count. For the matter of that,
50 does the Democracy. But the sincerity
of the latter in its declaration is called
into question. The issue, says Gov
ernor Foraker, lies at the very root of
seh-government, since the only sovereignty
we have is the lawfully expressed and un-
trammeled viii of the people. Now, in
support OF the proposition that the plat
form declarations of the Democracy do
not conform to practice, it must be Kept in
view that without the solid Southern
vote, it would not to-day be in power. II,
therefore, that vote has been obtained by a
suppression of the will of any large body
of voters, it is fraudulent, and so seriously
fraudulent that it is not to be disposed of
by the cry of bloody shirt In the Re-
publican States there are cast in each Con-
gressional District an average of 10000
votes. In no district in those States is
there solid vote. In Georgia, as in Ohio,
the votes in the districts are about the
same. Both parties have full voice at the
polls in Ohio, but the record in Georgia
shows great disparity in the district voting,
and at the election of 1886, for instance
stands thus:

THE GLACIERS OF ALASKA.
The Ascent of the Davidson Glacier by
Prof. DYer=His AdYica tn Tourists

Inc ascent OF tne DAVIDSON GLACIER by
Prof. Dyer-His Advice to Tourists.
A letter has been received from Pro-
fessor Louis Dyer, of Harvard, who was on
the last trip of the Olympian to Alaska,
expressing the satisfaction of himself,
President d. G. Gilman, of Johns Hop
kins, and a goodly list of passengers, at the
wonders of the glaciers of the Archipelago
Alexander He made the ascent of the
nearer nights of the Davidson Glacier, in
front of which, on the east side of Chatham
Strait, are no less than eight glaciers.
Then he made the ascent of the nearer
nights of the Muir Glacier. The practical
point which he makes, after his enthusi-
asm at the beauties of the trip, is the re-
commendation that all those who intend
to attack the glaciers should prepare them
selves at Tacoma or Port Townsend with
stout Alpine stock alaskan stockl, and
have pair of heavy-soled shoes, studded
with nails; without these they will fail.
The Alaskan glaciers are, according to
all who have seen them, among the chief
wonders of the great northern region, and
the trip to them and the country near is
fast becoming popular one for the sum-
mer vacation season. The Davidson Gla-
cier has 4 precipitous front between 800
and 400 feet high, and the mass extends
inland to lofty SUBMITS of about 4, 500 feet
altitude. 1t is at the head of Lynn Canal,
better known asChatham Strait, and north
of Juneau and Douglass Island and east of
Sitka. The water close up to the howning
hight is deep and clear. Back of the
Davidson Glacier and the Muir Glacier to
the south and west is supposed to be d vast
sea Of mere, or mingled snow, ice and rocks,
and this district promises well as field
for exploration. Professor Dyer was
charmed and impressed with the wonder
full sight On the rocky sraamits that he
scaled he gathered some wild flowers, and
these he sent as mementoes to friends in
this city. He ruined suit OF clothes in
the undertaking, but this mishap he over
looked because of the qualification gained
After visiting the Mair Glacier the party
went to Sitka and thence returned to Ta-
coma They have since started on their
Eastward journey by the Northern Pacific

TRAVEL TO AND FROM PORTLAND. The

constantly increasing. 1t is route which

for it q wide reputation, which is constantly
adding to the number of passengers carried.
A large number of passengers from and for
the Northern and Canadian Pacific Rail
roads are daily carried over the line, and
there are many transportation wagons in
use carrying people over the Siskiyou

mind of that reader as is experienced by
any of us when we peruse in regular is
sues of journals published at the East,
articles treating solely of the capacity of
the locality. 1t is very different matter,
indeed, in the case of specially
prepared sheet or pamphlet, which, on its
face, discloses that it is intended to favor
ably impress distant reader It's recip-
tents very naturally look upon it with
something of surprise and take its state
ments with much allowance for over-color.
1t is for this very reason that it is so highly
important that all such immigration litera-
ture should be fortified by the strongest
proofs of verify. Another weighty reason
for prefering the local press as a medium
for disseminating immigration literature,
Is found in the fact that the newspaper
is itself reflection of social and business
conditions, and its recipient gathers fair
idea OF social conditions, the character of
the community and the capacity and bust
ness of the country from the news reported,
the advertisements, the commercial and
market reports, the expression of the paper,
its correspondence, etc. Certainly thelocal
press is the very best vehicle which can be
utilized for the carriage of statements
abroad to intelligent readers concerning
the resources and the claims of the State.

A New Raisin Field.

II. Lloyd of Antelope Valley, yes
terday exhibited at the HERALD Office
a specimen of fine raisins made there
this year from cuttings planted last
year. His rancho is on the Sierra
Pelone, six miles west of Alpine station,
on the south border of Antelope Val
ley. The quality of the fruit is very
fine, and the color is attractive and
brilliant. Mr.. Lloyd is satisfied that
that section Of the country in which
he is located is the best possible for
deciduous fruits. Judging from previ-
GUS specimens from that valley the
fruit produced, when properly cared
for, is highly remunerative. Mr..
Lloyd's ranch is six miles west OF Al
pine station in the foothills of the
Sierra Pelone. He states that the
growth of the vine in that locality is
simply marvellous, as is also the growth
of deciduous fruit trees and all kinds
of garden produce.

1t Finds Nineteen indictments
For Grimes.

As was expected the United States
Grand Jury came into court yesterday

parties indicted had been arrestedup
to late hour, and in consequence
their names cannot be divulged. It's
understood, however, that some Of
them were those who have been ex-
amined before Commissioner Van
Dyke and held to answer. The re-
port of the Grand Jury is as follows:
To the Honorable Erskine w. Ross,
United States District Judge for the
Southern District of California:
We, the Grand Jury, respectfully
report to your honor that we have
found nineteen indictments, which
we herewith present to this court,
making in all since we were i'm
paneled the number of thirty in
dictments. We desire to return thanks
to your honor for your patient, digni-
fed and courteous bearing towards
us, and for your kind assistance rem
dered us whenever solicited. And we
desire to thank the Hon. J. Marion,
Brooks, United States District Attor
ney; d. r. Risley, United States
Marshal, as we'll as all Of his depu-
ties; also, Mr.. William w. Van Dyke
and Mr.. e. H. Owen, clerks respect
lively OF the Unites States Circuit and
District Courts, for their kindness,
and bear testimony to the efficiency
and attention of all of said officers to
their respective duties, pertaining to
us as grand jurors. We may well say
considering that this is the first term
of the United States Court in and for
the Southern District of California
that the business of all of the forego-
ing officers has been performed with
remarkable correctness and prompti-
tude. There being no further busi-
ness now before our body we respect
fully ask to be relieved from further
duty until such time as your honor
may think proper in the premises.

THE CHINESE THEATER.
Nl
Plot of the Play Which Is Being
Presented.

The new Chinese theater on Virgin
street has been completed and opened
with the play, "On Sam Mook'-The
Runaways. The stage is raised about
four feet, and the parquette and bal
cony contain long rows Of benches.
The plot of the play is as follows: A
young Chinese girl is sold to high
Chinese official, who is very old, and
he makes her his wife. The nephew
Of the old man falls in love with her,
and as his love is reciprocated, they
run off together to another. town.
They stop at wayside inn for the
night and are overtaken by the young
girls parents who try to get her back.
The hotel-keeper, who is some-
what OF an odd character,
interferes and allows the couple
to get away. The old folks return and
inform the husband and brother of
the whereabouts OF the woman. They
both start after her again, and the
brother overtakes them at the next
town. He upbraids his sister and her
paramour and threatens to kill them,
but is prevented by the guests and
rushes out in a frenzy.
He then challenges the man and a
duel ensues, in WI ich the william is
worsted, but it seems he turns mp
again all right, and before the judge
of the place swears he has bought the
woman from her husband and is al
lowed to depart with her.
The brother now looks up the hus-
band of the woman and having found
him they renew the search for
the missing couple. For while they
are unable to find them, but acci-
dentally stumble upon two slaves who
have been hired to kill the father of
the woman. and from them learn the
whereabouts of the runaway couple.
They repair to the place where
the couple are stopping, only
to find that the woman refuses to
leave her lover remaining deaf to the
pleadings OF her father, brother and
husband. The lover then puts his
slaves upon the trio but they are dis
persed, and in his rage the husband
slays both the woman and her lover,
and they all disappear leaving the
guilty. couple dead in the room. They
are found later by the neighoors who
bury them with great pomp and splen-
dor.
Throughout the play some very fine
costumes are worn, and were it not
for the incessant playing Of the music
which is very narrowing to a sensitive
ear, the play would be very amusing,
as all the players take their parts we'll
and the play goes on without Interrupt
ton or intermission from beginning to
end. Their costumes are very unique,
and the female parts are all taken by
men.
